The Blessed Life

Life is not about what happens to me but it is about how I react to it.  It is my reaction that determines what will be the potential outcome of any situation. I have to be mindful on my reactions, in response to a situation or event.  I have to realize that I have a choice about how to react.  The only way to guarantee for amicable outcome is to check on my attitude.  My attitudes shape my feelings, beliefs and very often my behaviours.   Should I let my attitude to run wild, I will make harsh and rash decision that are clouded by emotions.  This might lead me to regret later on.  Should I honour that all humans are good, I should reserve my judgement by not reacting negatively.  It is always good to take the silence pills. Each and every day, I have to tell my mind that I have a choice to have a positive mentality.  I have to be aware that I have a choice as to what attitude I want to embody.  While life can be hard where things and events occur that are out of control but I have a c

When things have to happen, they happen.  Some could be the projection from my manifestation, while many others are the mysterious works of divinity to let me to learn.  Things do not just drop from the sky.   They appear in front of me for good reasons.  All that I need to do is to be aware.  So that my consciousness can expand.  So that I can live a mindful life. Do I have to be upset when unfavourable events happen?  How shall I react when good things take place?  Should I am able to write a book - with everything that happens with me, to me and for me - there will be volumes that I would probably learn from. Perhaps, having had written them will give me better insight today.  When I pen down an event, an experience, it makes me to be conscious.  It makes me to own my life.  It gives me time to self reflect to become better.   Writing organizes my thoughts and makes it apprehensible.  It grooms me to be more responsible with my actions. Every events give me the opportunity to learn.

A home is one of the greatest blessings in life.  She shelters me and provides huge comfort for my well being.  She is a place that gives supportive shelter to keep me safe.  She uplifts my spirit and helps me to grow.   A house, generally, is often the biggest expense.  Paying and maintaining it to become a home takes a lot of time and resources.  To create a home requires emotional connection and deep sense of belonging.   While I should not be too attached with the physical things to stand in the way of God's best, I have to respect them too. It is good that I recognize her part in my life.  A home is a place of refuge.   I have to treat her like a human.  A home is not a place but it is a feeling.  It is only appropriate that I provide kind gesture and respect her role.  But, I should not be a slave to my house. A clean space allows my mind to relax and get me inspired.  I clean my home because I love and respect her.  I want to reciprocate her unconditional contribution for gi

Nothing is permanent.  And so is my life.  Mother Earth is a transient place for my earthly journey.  Here, I am attending a school that is preparing me for my spiritual evolution.  I have to constantly give my very best while I am at it. I want to be the kind of soul who shall improve on the quality of life.  When I look at the end of life and be one with my Creator, I hope to enter Heaven's gate. When I am alive, I intend to live.  I should have dreams and dream them big.  I have to live life to the fullest and enjoy each day.  I must learn how to live.  I must learn to take risks.  At the end of each day, I am answerable for every moment of my life. I pray for change so that I can be flexible with the ways I think.  I pray for guidance so that I trust myself.  I pray for happiness so that I am not my ego.  I pray for peace so that I accept others unconditionally. I pray for abundance and I realize that it is my doubt that keeps it away.  I pray for wealth and realize it is my he

All humans have the mind, body and soul.  But, each human has his or her own beauty.  His or her own uniqueness.  His or her own idiosyncrasies and peculiarities.  His or her own belief system and values.  Each human is, indeed, special. Everybody is the same.  Everybody is different.  Such, there are no two people who can be absolutely and completely alike.  Each one of us has some hard wired behaviours.  Each one of us goes through different ways of upbringing while living under the same world. How do I live with differences?  I have to live for who I am and not by someone else's ways of lives.  When two people have beliefs or values that differ too much, it creates friction.  Friction, in itself, is not healthy.  It does not unite but divide.  Along the way, harmony is lost. I have to accept that there will always be different strokes, different vibrations.  Though a healthy relationship involves compromise, I should not sacrifice my life and bend to someone's core principle

When I have no joy within me, there shall be no joy outside of me.  When my mind is struggling, so are the ways of my life.  When I cannot find peace within me, it shall be useless to seek elsewhere. Peace is a state where there is no anxiety in the mind.  Peace is about accepting everything around me.  When there is love in my mind and in my heart, compassion is awakened.  Divinity lives in the heart.   When my mind keeps on thinking, thought after thought non-stop, it creates anxiety.  It wipes out all peace. I have to practice a state of consciousness that is serene, insightful and inspiring.  To insist to have an intellect mind does not make me smart.  Intellect does not mean understanding is achieved.  An intellect mind is full of expectations.  It wants to see things from restrictive, perhaps selfish, perspective. Life is As Is.  To be true to that, I have to stop asking mundane questions. Questions can be irrelevant and without much knowing, they can be food for the ego mindset.

It is good to remember that my existence matters.  At the same time, I have to recognize there are other humans, many people that I know, who are better than me.  They are successful, they work harder and they have accomplished a lot more than me. I have to walk my life with my head down.  I must not envy them.  Instead, I should celebrate their existence, their triumph and victory.  I must not get stuck in self pity with my reality.  I have to step outside of my story to be happy for them. Respect is important.  I have to respect their accomplishments.  I have to be happy for them.  When I do that, I make myself not to compare.  It will make me to be grateful with what I have.  It will make me to accept my circumstances, the way they are, and teach me the lessons on life. Whatever it is that I do, chances are, I will run into a situation in which I am not as good.  Not as skilled.  Not as talented as the person next to me.  I have to acknowledge my weakness.  I have to accept it and b

It is a natural thing to think of the what if.  Perhaps it has to do with life being rather unpredictable.  But, it is not the what if is the problem, it is the next thought that matters.  It is what in my mind that holds me captive.   Somehow, when there is a thought of what if, there is usually anxiety, doubt and fear.  There is a feeling of insecurity.  Do I have to entertain all the what ifs in my life?   Am I hard wired with uncertainties?  What is causing me to think with all the what ifs? Entertaining a what if is like building a barricade to the future.  It fills life with worries and more worries.  It increases self doubt and hinders any potential of encountering the best in life. It is normal that I will have moments where I worry about the what if.  While it prompts me to think through, I should not make it to become overwhelming.  The more I put my energy on the what if, it shall interfere with problem solving. Yes, a what if may occur and I have to use it to have more fait

Yes, I have hurt others.  Yes, others have hurt me too.  One hand can't clap; it takes two to tango.   But today, I want to go past that.  I want to ask for forgiveness.  I want to forgive too.  Today, I shall focus on doing just that. Today, I stand with my humility and be one with all humankind.  Today, I am letting my ego down and render my hands to another soul.  Today, let the divinity within me greets another divinity,  all in the name of love for humanity.  Today, I seek forgiveness with another soul and all souls. Forgiveness elevates sufferings.  It reduces and eliminates resentments.  It promotes feelings of goodwill.  It makes moving past negative emotions easy.  Forgiveness is not a sign of weakness, submission or both.  It does not mean forgetting or pardoning an offence. Forgiving can be hard but not forgiving hurts more.  Not forgiving, or be forgiven, paralyzes me from moving forward.  It makes me a prisoner of blame and a mind of bitterness.  It erodes love in my h

(A Poetry) When I am gone, Be happy as sadness will not do us good Let there be no regrets between us Smile instead, laugh instead And we shall cherish all the memories To make the onward journey easy. When I am gone, Don't let anger control you I was not perfect in the first place From the beauty of your heart, please forgive me And let all my actions be forgiven. When I am gone, Take good care of yourself Be who you are meant to be May you find your dreams May you find your meaning And may God bless you with your purpose. When I am gone, It will bring me solace If you are to think of me and say a little prayer For my soul shall rest in peace It will be a grateful prayer for my departure It will give me the light to cross over. When I am gone, Feel my heart That I have always loved you Thank you for all the shared times Thank you for making me to be the person I ought to be. Should today be the day, my dear all I love you and I am sorry Please forgive me and thank you Let peace be
